What players say

Players describe a short, satisfying puzzle game in the style of The Witness. It teaches one core grid-based symmetry mechanic and lets the player explore at their own pace. The difficulty is praised as fair, though a few find some later puzzles hard to parse. Most finish in about 3 hours.
